Good tutoring for every student in Canada.
MapleMind is a Canadian company. We make an AI tutor for students in Grades 1 to 12 that teaches step by step, with guided mode on from the start.
Why we started
Tutoring works. A 2020 review of tutoring experiments found “consistent and substantial positive impacts on learning outcomes.” But a tutor costs money every week, and many families can’t keep one.
AI can now explain a hard idea at any hour, in a student’s own language. Used carelessly, it also hands over the answer, and a copied answer teaches nothing.
We started MapleMind in 2026 to bring the two together: a patient tutor that any family can reach. It teaches the steps and leaves the thinking to the student.
What we believe
Learning, not shortcuts
A tutor should teach the method and leave the work to the student. Guided mode is on from the start: the tutor explains the idea, works a similar example, then hands the student their own question.
Help every family can reach
Good help with schoolwork shouldn’t depend on income, language or postal code. The free plan gives 4 learning activities and 30 tutor messages a day, in any of 14 languages.
Children’s privacy first
We show no ads, sell no personal information and never train AI models on students’ work. A student under 13 (14 in Quebec) needs a parent’s verified consent before using the tutor.
Canada’s own courses
Each province teaches its own courses, so the tutor follows them: 765 courses for every province and territory, built from each ministry’s official program.
No office, no commute
We have no office and no daily travel, and almost all of our work happens on screen rather than on paper.
Responsible growth
AI lets a small team serve a great many people. We believe a company that grows this way owes part of what it earns to the communities it serves.
